Norcent is an unknown quantity at this point

Default graphics ?

I ordered a sli mobo and was wondering if an ati x1600 card would work with an xfx geforce 7900gs?

SLI has to use two identical cards. They usually have to even be the same brand.

So using two completely different chipsets (Ati and Nvidia) is completely unpossible.

yeah, first, ati uses crossfire, nvidia uses sli. and they need to be completley identical.
